- This handsome example is generally medium slate gray in appearance, the reverse with enhancing blushes of sandy-russet patina that appear to drift toward the borders. Well struck with uniform Choice EF detail to surfaces that show no significant marks. Bowers-Borckardt 156 is a scarcer, more conditionally challenging die marriage of the 1799 silver dollar, with Q. David Bowers accounting for only 275 to 500 survivors in his 2013 <em>Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars: 1794-1804</em>. The author also states, "VF and EF coins are seen with frequency, but higher grades are virtually non-existent." As a PQ example at the assigned grade level, this CAC- and CMQ-approved offering represents the finest realistically obtainable for the die pairing as far as most collectors are concerned. BB Die State II.
